story of kopperum cholan and pisirandayar

[asitaraman]

The king, if I recall right was Sundarapaandian (which could have been a generic title name given to many Pandiyan kings). The Chozha king at that time happened to have a title name 'Rajendran' (not the Rajendran, this was another one).

Is your reference the same or am I getting my history all jumbled up ?

As far as I know, there is only one "Sundara Pandaya" who was Lord Shiva Himself who married Thadathakai Pirati.

He did defeat the Cholas and return the kingdom back to them.
